Package: debian-policy
Version: 4.1.1.1
Severity: normal

Section 4.4 explains quite a bit about debian/changelog, but doesn't really
explain its purpose.  I took its purpose to be recording history and driving
automation - which led to some mistakes that might've been avoided.  During a
recent thread on mentors [1], I learned that the purpose is to provide a human
readable list of changes between released versions of Debian.  This came as a
surprise.

I'm not sure how this should be worded best, but I found a number of the
comments on the thread to be helpful, especially [2].

Thanks,
Ross
